I hope my last words are "Good night" and then POW, I die in my sleep.
When I am about 80.
But they will probably be something more like "God, will that bitch just SHUT UP!" as I crank in my hospital bed.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
I'm thinking, "More, please!" might be good.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
If I get a choice: "Gee, well I guess ten thousand years is not a bad run."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
New Sara Gruen book is in! It's called Ape House if anyone is interested.

I have it in my hands right now! I ordered it ages ago, so it was a pleasant surprise.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Did I mention that I finished Blameless the other day? Lots of fun!
Oddly, what I dug the most was the character development of Ivy. And I laughed my ass off at Conall drinking the formaldehyde from Lyall's specimen jars of sheep fetuses and eating the contents and referring to them as a "crunchy treat."
I thought the Templar stuff got a bit tedious, but not horribly so.
Finally, I want to know more about Floote.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Steph, I know! Ivy not a complete scatterbrain! Clever! I was so delighted about that. And OH MY GOD, BIFFY IS A WEREWOLF AND AKELDAMA IS THE NEW POTENTATE, iiiieee!
I get to meet Gail Carriger on Friday. I'm so excited!

The status is NOT quo.
I thought Blameless was tons of fun. Hurray for Gail Carriger!
Jilli, I'm excited you get to meet her, but I think she needs to understand that she is writing about YOU. I mean, seriously, half the fun of reading the books is that I quite shamelessly picture you in the main role. How could I not? (And yes, this does make Pete a cranky werewolf, and I will say no more on that account except heeeheehee.)
